The Cultural Health Index (CHI) is a tool that Maori can use to assess and manage waterways in their area. The index allows iwi/hapu to assess the cultural and biological health of a stream or catchment of their choosing, and then communicate this information to water managers in a way that can be understood and integrated into resource management processes. This guide explains how to apply the CHI for streams and waterways, from selecting sites and setting up a monitoring team, to calculating the CHI scores for the sites. It provides resources such as forms, recommended interview questions and data collection worksheets.
